1989 Honda Prelude. 2.0 motor. Couple of issues. On occasion, the
temperature goes way up. The fan is on, but temp keeps climbing. Other
issue: A\C was working, but quit. The compressor doesn't engage. The wires
are hooked up and the fuse appears fine. Is there another fuse that I'm
missing? The light in the a/c switch comes on. tyia

Check your coolant level. Top it up if low and get the system pressure
checked for leaks. Repair as necessary. Note that you'll need to use the
bleeder valve in order to get all of the air out of the system.

Forgot to mention that you should also check the operation of the
thermostat. You can get similar symptoms if it's stuck closed.
